Our service

Legal indemnity insurance provides protection against title and legal defects that may arise during property transactions. Whether you're dealing with a single property, a portfolio acquisition, or a large development, we offer tailored solutions to suit a wide range of risks.

At Edmondsons, we take an underwriting-led approach and work with a broad panel of specialist insurers, enabling us to secure competitive terms, even for risks others may decline. Our one-to-one service ensures a swift, informed response, with cover arranged efficiently and appropriately for each case.

If a risk looks uncertain, we’re always happy to advise on the options available.

What we cover

  • Freehold and leasehold title defects - covers issues such as missing deeds, restrictive covenants, or unknown third-party interests that could impact ownership or use
  • Planning risks - protection against enforcement action due to breaches of planning permission or absence of necessary consents
  • Rights of light - insures against legal challenges or compensation claims arising from the obstruction of light to neighbouring properties
  • Contaminated land - covers liability for remediation costs or third-party claims resulting from historic land contamination
  • Insolvency act - protection for property transactions that could be challenged under the Insolvency Act, typically in the event of a seller's insolvency
  • Local authority searches - covers losses due to adverse entries that would have been revealed by full local authority searches, often used in expedited transaction
